I'm currently a resident (not in primary care), so I'm biased. But: * Nursing sucks. It's terrible work. On top of that, you have to deal with jerk doctors and jerk patients. Not a single one of my many doctor friends would e

Not quite the same thing, but you can get a Bluetooth keyboard for your Nexus 10.

For $6 an hour, how is this profitable? How easy can it be to find intelligent , English-fluent people with bachelor's degrees, anywhere in the world, who are willing to work for the fraction of that sum which is left after overhead cost

No. He was commenting primarily on the low market value of English/Communications/etc, and less on whether they are easy things to do. They may be quite hard, but it's easier for an engineer to get paid to be an engineer than it is for huma

We have a few Life chairs at the hospital I work at. I wasn't too impressed - much happier with my Aeron at home and Knoll Bulldog at my own desk (sadly, discontinued). We also have a ton of Knoll Chadwick chairs, and they are terrible - re

The staff at the NYC location of Saravana Bhavan is also not particularly friendly or accommodating. The food is decent but the poor service has kept me from returning.

You copied and pasted the article and changed a few words, then made it look like Harrison Weber wrote the text, even though he did not. The attribution is great but in this case not enough. Either the text should have been created independ

So all a terrorist organization needs to do is have some of its members who have yet to commit any crimes sign up for this program. There is no way the screening is 100% perfect - there will be some false negatives, and they can be exploite

Honestly, is anyone surprised? PayPal is a very large service that does not need to differentiate itself from its competitors with superior customer service. Clueless CS reps are par for the course in situations like these.

"Not a programmer? Apply." How do you expect to turn someone into a decent programmer in five months when they are starting from scratch?

It's just the starting point for negotiations, and presumably there is a large punitive component to this figure. All they really want is enough damages to put GS out of business.

If you have a small team and everyone is passionate and good at their jobs, does it really matter what the policies are? The real challenge is in a larger company, where that assumption may not hold. Are there any existing examples of anywh

I should hope they would! What good is a security measure when you know that it has been breached, you know that there are significant exploits in the wild, and you don't know the extent of the damage? Not removing them would destroy user t
